Tomorrow plant [it] on my grave.” I said: “For Allah’s sake, stay with me.” He said: “No, dad.” He bid me farewell: “Forgive me, I’m going.” I said: “Where do you want [to go]?” He said: “The town’s people are confronting the [Israeli] army and it’s my duty to join the young people, I will go to confront the army.” ….
